Composite Tooling: Master, Molds, & Fixtures
Quality tooling produces quality and repeatable parts. Engineered Composites has full tooling capabilities to design and manufacture masters, molds and fixtures.
- Fabricate CNC machined masters directly from your CAD files
- Fabricate high-quality production molds that will last thousands of cycles
- Build low-cost temporary tooling for prototypes to minimize expenses and lead-time
- Design and fabricate jigs and fixtures to ensure high-quality and repeatable manufacturing processes
- Help you develop quality standards and quality control procedures.
One of the key advantages of using fiberglass composites is the inexpensive molds. The average cost is between 6 to 10 times part price, with typical mold completion times of less than four weeks.
